I was quietly sitting on my chair and reading romance novel as always.
I secretly started reading it when I was two years old and and now it's been one year.
I would sneak off at night when everyone fall asleep.
I stole some of the money and run away.
The reason behind sneaking off was to buy novel from market.
Luckily I didn't got caught.
But thinking of it I lost many books and the Duke blame maids for no reason.
It was not their fault and half of them even got fire.
It was a great loss for them
....
I finish reading it after two hours.
I closed the novel and put it under the the pillows in case someone find it.
As I arranged the pillow accordingly and I somehow discover a silver box.
'This box look so pretty !'
I curiously unboxed it and found a ring, it was familiar to which Eirlys gave me as my third birthday gift.
I took a closer look at it as I blinked my eyes dozen times but how many times I see it I can never get used to it.
The ring she gave me had a flower made of crystal and gold ring attached with it, saying that it was given by my father when she first meet him.
And it contains some sort of magic that normal people don't own.
I never seen or heard of it anywhere.
[ knock, knock]
I put the box where it belongs to when I heard the door knocked.
I rushed to the book self which was right next to my desk.
I picked a random book and sit on the chair.
I started mumbling the words that wasn't written in it.
The door open, a girl with straight long brown hair and sapphire eyes, come in with two maids.
The maids bowed and greeted me.
"Hello Charlotte. Did you need
something? "
I quired her.
It was surprising that she came to meet me in person.
She usually always stayed in her room and only came out when its something important.
Charlotte hesitate to speak and lower her head.
" Little miss... "
" I was wondering if y-you were free and would like to play w-with me ! "
One of the maid tried to speak but was interrupted by Charlotte.
Charlotte spoke and ran away.
I tried to stop her but she already ran away.
" Hey ! wait... "
I felt like Charlotte was uneasy and nervous when she was with me. Some how she doesn't speak much.
Well it is normal for kids to be nervous we them meet someone who they don't know.
I chased after her.
After searching for Charlotte in many rooms I was exhausted from running. I was sweat all over my body.
'Damn ! Why does this castle have to be so large. '
I felt my legs can't take it anymore so I decided to sat for a bit.
When I decided to go I heard a child's cry.
I couldn't resist and peeked.
I opened the door slightly in case of being caught.
I saw Charlotte sobbing and grabbing a big Teddy bear.
The tears fall down like stream. Her half face already become wet.
I pushed the door and walk in.
I saw the face of Charlotte was surprised of my sudden appearance.
She stood up and tried to wiped her face.
I slowly walk and sat on the chair beside her bed and handed her my handkerchief.
I smiled and said.
" Umm... I was saying I would be glad to play with you but you suddenly ran. "
" R-Really! You don't think I am hideous? "
"!!!"
When I heard her say something like this I had a blank look on my face.
Charlotte eyes were teary again.
".... S.....so you are here to make.. fun of me just like others do !? "
I came back to sense when I heard Charlotte's voice. I hurried and denied.
" What? Of course not ! What made you think something like that ? "
" So will you play with me, right? "
" Yup. "
A faint smile curved on the face of Charlotte who heard me.
***
Charlotte invited me to eat with her. She would always get new box cookies and sweets, when maids go to capital.
The cookies of popular shop taste so good. Sometimes its impossible to get even if you have lots of money.
After what happened last week we become more closer and I got to eat as much as I like.
Moreover she started coming to my room often.
The maids including Duke himself smile when he knew Charlotte don't stay closed in her room anymore.
To think he would smile, everyone started talking about it. And it was also one of the hottest topic in Iverson dukedom.
I was on my way to garden where we planed to have party. I am so much happier in this life. I got a loving mother and a friend who is actually my younger cousin.
About Charlotte's twin brother I haven't seen him since the day he was brought to Castle.
Further more Leucos already awakened his power. It happened when he was practicing swordsmanship with his teacher and was becoming weak and weak, as the result he collapsed. The doctors couldn't tell and finally decide to bring mage and he was surprised to see he was four - star mage and awakened his powers.
Most of the nobel people who possessed more than their bodies limit died because they didn't have the ability to control.
Of course, it was great for Leucos as he possess four great mana water, metal, wind and thunder.
Out of all eight different types of mana fire, water, earth, metal, nature, thunder, divine and darkness.Others mana power he held wasn't told to anyone other the himself, Duke and Temple.
"Ouch "
I tripped on something and fall on the ground, it was pain and I screamed .My eyes become teary and start crying.
I look at my injured knee it was swollen and blood started bleeding.
I tore my dress in a small piece and bandage my knee.
Soon blood stopped bleeding for some time.
I furiously stare back and grabbed that things. I glared it and some how it look like a huge egg. To be honest it more looks like a football rather than an egg.
It was round in circle selfsame as the football.
It will be great to play with it.
I smirked and hide it underneath the grass.
